An event teaching how to use artificial intelligence to work more efficiently and to build careers or launch businesses will be held in Seoul. Through expert lectures and the experiences of women who have applied AI to their own jobs, participants are expected to find approaches suited to their work and daily lives.
The Seoul Foundation of Women and Family said on the 22nd that it will host Women AI Week for two days, from the 28th to the 29th, at Seoul Women's Plaza in Dongjak District, Seoul. The event consists of a forum examining how AI is changing everyday life and hands-on programs for office workers, freelancers and founders.
At 2 p.m. on the 28th, the foundation will hold a Science Communication Forum jointly with the Korean Federation of Women's Science and Technology Associations. Experts in brain science, medicine and management will discuss how AI affects human learning, health care and consumer life.
Lee In-ah, a professor of brain and cognitive sciences at Seoul National University, will explain what human thinking and learning mean in the AI era. Choi Eun-kyung, a professor at Seoul National University Hospital, will address AI-based health management and the direction of medical technology, while Cha Kyung-jin, a professor at Hanyang University, will cover how generative AI is reshaping consumer experiences such as personalized shopping and smart consultations.
At 7 p.m. on the 29th, the Women AI Personal Training Day will be held to share ways of using AI for work and career development. It is scheduled in the evening so that people can attend after work.
The program is divided into three tracks: organizations, freelancing and startups. Jung Seung-il, head of the career business at JobKorea, will discuss the job skills and career strategies needed in the AI era, and Kim Jun-tae, strategy director at Kmong, will outline changes in the freelance market and opportunities for growth. Kwon Ja-kyung, chief executive of Dive8, will share experience in launching a business using AI.
Six women who took part in the foundation's Women AI Education Platform will also appear as speakers. They will present cases of applying AI to actual work and share six approaches tailored to participants' concerns.
Park Jung-sook, chief executive of the Seoul Foundation of Women and Family, said, "I hope this Women AI Week becomes an opportunity to understand AI through the eyes of science and technology experts and to find ways to apply it to one's own work, based on the experiences of women who have already used it."
Admission is free, and applications can be submitted on the foundation's website.
